G’day all. I'm Steve. I’m mainly into hunting these days. Mostly with ex-mil stuff and have a bit of an interest in wildcats and obsolete chamberings. I am a fitter by trade and like making my own bits and pieces. Catch you round.

Hey everyone!New to the forum. Me and a mate, both from victoria, are just trying to get into the duck hunting scene. We have both done our WIT. ive just recently bought a fabarm elos b 12g as my first gun. Mate has a browning.

We've been out a couple of times just trying to suss it all out and am definetly getting more experience. Any hints or tips from anyone would be muchly appreciated, other than that just trying to learn and pick up as much as we can.

Hi All, been watching this sight for a while now to see if its better than the others around, and yeah I feel quite comfortable here, anyway I live in Victoria and been shooting/hunting since I was about 12yrs, I'm now 65yrs so I've been around for awhile, stalked Sambar solo for many many years and taken my fair share but those hills are getting a bit hard now so lots of sit a wait for me lol, thanks guys....tracks

Welcome. Same as me, sit and wait. That's if I get a chance to get out, pretty rare at the moment.

Hunt safe, look after the bush & plug more pests. Better to load on the mild side. The greatest invention in the history of man is beer. "Often the written message doesn't convey all of the information"

Thanks guys, and oldbloke this time of the year I get away at least twice a month for a day or two, bloody cold but the heated vest I have makes all the difference, just need some feet warmers haha, anyway mate make an excuse and get out there,

I’m new to the forum so thought I should do the right thing and introduce myself.

I’m from SA, currently own a CZ 452 in 22lr. Also have a couple of old Lithgow single shot 22’s. I have just ordered my first Cat B rifle, went with a Tikka T3 Lite in .243

Our family owns a small parcel of land in the mid north and to date have had a little bit of luck with the bunnies. Bought the .243 to expand our possibilities and looking to get onto foxes and hopefully some goat in the area.

Look forward to trolling through the forums and learning from more experienced shooters.

Welcome Hallsie12345.Nice to have another South Aussie in the ranks.

Im not sure what part of the mid north you're in (id obviously guess the upper reaches if you have goats in the area), but i used to frequent the mid north with rifle, shotgun & spotlight, & ive bowled over my fair share of foxes in the lower mid north.Not to mention take a regular feed of bunnies & the occasional puddy tat from the area.

Nice choice of rifle & calibre for what you want to use ut on (as long as you dont want to keep fox skins)...i want one of those very outfits myself...!

You should have a few critters about up there...I hope you got stuck into the deer before the powers to be did the big knock em all over cull efforts in that region recently...!!!You should have a freezer full of venison.!
